Praise for this book

"[V]aluable, rewarding, even urgent. I agree entirely with the author that we need to seriously think through the stakes of reconstructionist methodologies. The challenge issued in this book's pages is one all students of Old Norse myth must take up ...[Norse Revival] is an erudite, nuanced work of scholarship--an important contribution to our understanding of a growing international religious movement, its intellectual and cultural underpinnings, and our relationship to both."

--Merrill Kaplan, Edda
